    Objectives:

    This course is designed to introduce Confucianism as a major intellectual tradition notonly in China and East Asia, but also in the global age of today.

    Description:

    Confucianism had repeatedly been blamed for the backwardness prevalent over theentire East Asian region for more than a century ever since the intrusion of theWestern powers in the mid-19th Century. However, starting from the 1970s, asscholars have increasingly turned to it in explanation of the remarkable economic,social and cultural growth in almost all of the countries in the region, namely Japanand the so-called four little dragons, there has been a tremendous upsurge of interestin the Confucian tradition, which, rather ironically, has now been characterized asgoing through a creative transformation.

    What is even more striking is that not only has Confucianism generally beenperceived as the key to some of the dynamic forces that underlie the contemporarysuccess of the East Asian region, but it has also gradually been recognized as a

    living tradition that has indeed moved into the Western world along with the EastAsian Diaspora, making it very much an active participant in the larger globalcommunity. Its potential impact on the world can well be detected from suchtestimony as the one given by a Western scholar who proclaims himself as a BostonConfucian, which states that the Confucian tradition is one of the great intellectualachievements of humankind.the Confucian Dao represents one of the supremehuman systems of study, contemplation, speculation, and action.

    Whether for the purpose of understanding the modes of thought of the Chinese,the Korean, the Japanese, or that of the East Asians as a whole or for the simplereason that it is already one of the major intellectual traditions of mankind the

    significance of which is comparable to that of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhismand Hinduism, Confucianism is definitely something worthy of serious study in the

    world today.

    To introduce students to this ancient and yet living tradition, this course will firstadopt a historical approach. Following a chronological order, it will focus on themost influential Confucian thinkers whose thoughts have significantly shaped the

    tradition. These surveys will not only simply show the unfolding of Confucianismthrough its ebb and flow, but also demonstrate how the tradition has indeed originated,consolidated, reformulated, adapted, transformed, revived and rejuvenated. Toaccount for these developments in the most effective way, the thoughts of theseeminent Confucian thinkers will, of course, have to be studied against the complicatedhistorical background from which they emerged, which necessarily include suchintertwining factors as the economy, society and politics of their times.

    The course will also adopt intercultural and comparative approaches for the veryreason that the history of Confucianism is, in actuality, both an international andintercultural phenomenon. Rather than purely a tradition indigenous to China,

    Confucianism has long been enthusiastically appropriated by generations of thinkersin Korea and Japan and, more recently, by scholars and thinkers in the West as well.

    Their persistent efforts to reinterpret the tradition adopted from China is indeed themost enduring and powerful force that enables Confucianism to continue to grow inforeign lands. On the other hand, in order to spread and grow, consciously orunconsciously, it is not infrequent the case that Confucianism adjusts itself to thevarious cultural environments in which it is placed. To explain these adaptations,cultural factors will have to be taken into consideration.

    Apart from these contextual approaches, textual analysis will also be employedwhen looking into the thoughts of the major Confucian thinkers in China, Korea and

    Japan. Though in translation, primary sources, such as excerpts from the ConfucianFive ClassicsandFour Books, will not only be used when giving lectures, but also berequired to be studied by students in preparation for tutorial sessions, in order toensure that an original understanding of the tradition will ultimately be gained.
